my gf's car over heated the other day. checked it out, it leaked from the return line (bottom right hand corner hose near the tranny)? and for some strange reason, its leaking coolant from the tranny? i've never heard or seen this happen until i worked on her car.

so i replaced the rad, let the car run, leak from the hose was gone...but the leak from the tranny is still going - steady drip. it's leaking from a bolt, so i tightened it alittle bit. After i tightened the bolt it started leak like crazy on the other side - in between the back of tranny towards the cat and lower rear bar. i havent jacked up the car to find out where the leak is cominig from, could this be a heater hose? going crazy with these leaks - keeping in mind, i also have the same accord with the same problem, any help or suggestions please, its driving me crazy!

gf's car 95' LX
my car 94' LX

 

sounds like the heater core hose.

 

maybe this will help you to see what the real problem is;



FWIW The Honda trans does not have any coolant in it, the leak is coming from above the drip.

 

did u find out yet? was it hte heater core? i had similar issues, and had to replace the heater core.....


I think u can bypass the heater core, unless u want heat.
